Bria had planned to make Kaleb taste what it felt like to be betrayed, toyed with, and played, but that plan only worked if she felt nothing for him.
If she still had feelings for him, she wouldn't be able to act decisively. She'd get emotional, maybe even end up rewarding him instead of punishing him.
And why the hell should he be rewarded?
Kaleb hadn't suffered yet. Only when he truly felt pain, when the score between them was settled, could she move on to the next step.
Everything had been planned out perfectly, but her heart just wouldn't listen.
Bria was furious.
She really was cold-blooded. Even her own feelings could be turned into part of a plan, instead of falling for someone and approaching them normally like anyone else, and she definitely wouldn't act like some clueless simp.
Even if she loved someone, Bria believed they should be the one crawling to her. She couldn't accept being in a passive position.
This past month hadn't gone the way she expected, and the pressure was starting to get to her. Today, she'd finally called her finance team together for a meeting, partly just to distract herself.
But the moment she saw Kaleb, all the exhaustion from the day vanished.
What the hell... Is this some kind of sick joke?
This isn't right. Not at all!
So what now? Another month? And if by then I still haven't gotten over Kaleb, wouldn't I have wasted two whole months for nothing?
Bria felt restless and irritated.
One month was supposed to be the point where this game settled. No matter what, she had to take the next step.
She didn't have the patience to keep dragging this out with Kaleb.
The movie was full of over-the-top drama, the kind where a main character could die at any moment. This time, it was the male lead, and the soundtrack was terrifying.
Bria's mind was racing, calculating, when a sudden explosive sound made her flinch.
She didn't scream. Instead, in that split second of surprise, she grabbed onto something warm.
Then her hand was caught and held in someone else's palm.
Her heart started pounding, her breathing turned uneven. The flickering light from the screen washed over her face, her pupils shrinking sharply.
In that instant, Bria's brain issued the highest-level warning.
What the hell! I actually wanna have a real relationship with Kaleb!
Bria couldn't believe it. She'd been thinking about her next move, and somehow that thought had popped into her head.
Why would I want to date Kaleb?
Does my life even need romance? Not at all.

If humans can fall for someone because of moments like that, then maybe humanity needs to evolve. Rational thought gets completely hijacked by emotion. It's ridiculous.
If I suddenly want to date Kaleb because of that one moment, then it has to be my brain playing tricks on me.
It's not something I actually want.
Yeah... that has to be it.

Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
